15. Cookies

A “cookie” is a small text file that is placed on a user’s computer hard drive by a website. There are several types of cookie and the most common are often referred to as ‘session’ cookies. These are used to keep track of information needed by a user as they travel from page to page within a website. These cookies have a short lifetime and expire within a few minutes of the user leaving the site.

Other types of cookies can be used to track internet activity after the user has left a website. These are usually sponsored by organisations external to the website being visited and are generally known as ‘third party’ cookies. These usually have a long lifetime with several months being quite common. They are ‘harvested’ and ‘refreshed’ whenever the user visits a page where the same or a similar cookie is being used.

ESTD uses benign, short lived ‘session’ cookies to tell whether a website user has logged in, where to find details that can be used to pre-fill parts of on-line forms and to personalise the user’s visit to the website.

ESTD cookies do not analyse visits to other website or any searches undertaken whilst on the ANP website.

Internet browsers normally accept cookies by default; however, it is possible to set a browser to reject cookies. If this is done it is important not to exclude the benign and useful session cookies. Choose an option that rejects all third party and long lived cookies.

If you have any questions about security please contact ESTD: admin@estd.org

18. Notification of Changes

ESTD will notify all users of any changes it makes to its Privacy Policy. If ESTD decides to change its Privacy Policy, it will post such changes on this page so that you are always aware of how ESTD uses your personal data.

Users have the right to ask ESTD, in writing, for a copy of all the personal data held about them upon payment of a fee (“subject access request”) and to request that ESTD correct any inaccuracies in that information.
